The Irish Potato Famine occurred from 1845-1849.

Achill Sound

by Hiram Larew

When the roads curve like sound

    and dip as if lifting to bow

Whenever all thoughts round or cluster

    or when hearts call down

        is Ireland

And as rich when poor was

    or as wise as bare heads in snow seemed

and as twigs so frail broke into song

    and as true as any blight or potato could be

        was Ireland

So when sand laps the senses

    or salt drips the edges as dreams

Whenever hope streams through such heavens

    and moss comes home

    or hearts beam down

            is Ireland.
